I visited this well known local swimming hole usually referred to as ‘drapers’ yesterday with my partner and thought for sure that there would be either bass or spangled perch. I launched the kayak there this morning and gave it a crack. Started off using tiemco cicada lure to try the surface.
Casting right next to the lily pads seemed to be the go. Switched to a spinnerbait later on in the morning. The bass seemed quite sluggish when taking the spinnerbait. Not as much of a strike when compared to stocked bass in dams.
The gate opens up around 5:30-6am (don’t get there at 4:45am like I did). The place becomes populated with people after 7am so keep that in mind. All in all it’s a great little spot if you’re keen to catch some bass like I am!
